The incident came as a surprise to the already mother of nine, she had successfully delivered nine children in the past and was having her 10th child before the strange creature visited her.
According to an eyewitness, when the news broke out, residents of the town, especially those at the nearby Otukpo main market rushed to the hospital to see for themselves.
However, it was gathered that as soon as the hunter heard about the delivery, he came and removed the monster from the hospital, even as observers believed the abnormal birth was a usual occurrence to hunters who have killed several animals during hunting.
In a brief chat with elder Adah Okoh, a traditional ruler in the area, he noted that in the Idoma tradition, such child should not be allowed to stay with the mother for fear of reincarnation. Asked if the monster should be buried alive or killed, elder Okoh said that should be left for the family to decide.
I have heard many 'rumours' of such, but this time around i saw it with my korokoro eyes because i was at a filming location near the hospital. Is this world coming to and end? I wonder oo!!! My Naijapals, abeg what do you guys think?
